And now, for the exciting conclusion, pack two!

Get high on hockey? Done and done!

Like his comrade Sorokin, Stelnov never played in the NHL but is a member of the Russian and Soviet Hockey Hall of Fame. He has two gold medals to his name from the Olympics (’84 and ’88) as well as a gold and a silver in the World Championships. Stelnov passed away in 2009 at the young age of 46.

Otto was a solid player during his career and a guy who. although not really an enforcer, would drop the gloves with just about anyone. He won a Cup with the Flames and is the sort of guy you’d love to have on your team.

HOF-JO! For whatever reason, I was a LaFontaine fan when I was growing up. I couldn’t explain it then and I can’t explain it now.

Ugh! The B’s traded Ken Linseman to get this knucklehead who did ABSOLUTELY nothing. Poulin and Brian Propp are burned into my memory for eternity from that 89-90 Stanley Cup Finals team. Like liking LaFontaine, I have no reason why this is so.

First round draft pick by the B’s who was a bust. Out of the league after 91-92.

Another first round pick who, unlike Cimetta, had a few solid years on the blueline.

Yet another first round pick (9th overall in 1981). As Racine was better than Cimetta, Patrick was better than Racine. He enjoyed a 21-year career that saw a total 0f 690 points; not bad for a defenseman.

Ehh.

Did you know Fetisov is in the Hall of Fame? And not just the Russian and Soviet Hall of Fame? He had a pretty solid career in the NHL, winning two Stanley Cups, but it is his international play that earned him Hall honors.

Three HOFers in one pack?! And five total in two packs?! These must have come from a hot box!  Look at that goal total from the previous year: 86! That is bananas.

So there you have it, two packs of 91-92 OPC. I’m bummed I didn’t get a legitimate enforcer (Otto was close) but I can’t complain about five cards of HOFers, include a Bruin.

Next up, 90-91 Upper Deck.
